If the zombie apocalypse were to happen — or when the zombie apocalypse happens, depending on which camp you fall into — how prepared are you to deal with the scores of dead come back to life to feast on the living?

Not very? No worries, the new website MapoftheDead.com has you covered. Using Google Maps, the site aims to help users locate emergency services in the event of a zombie catastrophe. Emergency services include hospitals and police stations along with the nearest gun supplier, liquor store and supermarket.

The Zombie Survival Map also color-codes regions as a “Danger Zone” in red or “No Danger Zone” in black.

If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. … It’s likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection/virus/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated.
